Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

This is something that I posted nearly a year ago, before my Father's death, this last spring. He got a real chuckle from reading this, among the last of my emails read and appreciated, by him. I'm happy that he liked my humor, and at least this one talent for being a funny writer, gave him great pride, just to be my Dad. I really miss him. This one is dedicated to my Dad. Guy Subject: Having warm fuzzy feelings, about my family. I am SO grateful for their gifts! Date: Wednesday, January 14,... Sign in to see full entry.

Just kicking back today, basking in the serene knowlege that it's a rainy holiday, a day without structure, schedule, unable to shop, fit only for lazing around in my robe, holding a beer, and thinking sage thoughts, and watching the tube. Let's see what is on television, today. Well, I see that Showbiz Tonight’s list of “The HOTTEST men, over forty,” has left my name off the list, snubbing me, yet again! It doesn’t really bother me,… much,…. anymore. I know that this is a conspiracy against me,... Sign in to see full entry.

I was looking back into the blogit past, for a couple of past Christmas postings and couldn't find them. I did however, notice several postings about my two critter cronies, and combined parts of three blogs, into today's blog. Baby has recently figured out a new tactic for wrestling with Hitler, my evil cat. Hitler stands up on her hind legs, towering over Baby, with her front legs spread as high as possible, trying to look scary, like Dracula, about to bite. Baby just bumps her gently on her...

I think this just about sums it up!!!! I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table.....

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton. Keep reading-they get better!!! WOMEN'S REVENGE 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you... Sign in to see full entry.

These are the writers that I have read, in the last twenty days. As you can see, even when I am too busy to write, I am seldom too busy to check out the compe..........Uh, my fellow blogger's literary offerings. Some of these names no longer are here, but I keep checking, to see if they have returned, when I wasn't looking. Sadly, this seldom happens. In another eleven more days, I ought to be WAY past 500 times, that I have clicked on somebody's blogsite, to read and enjoy. I wouldn't be... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but that brief period between hidden garden harvest-time and Groundhog Day, (each year, because somebody has no self-control) but this is always the time of year when Marilyn decides that it would be great fun, to start shrinking my pants! I'm onto her little tricks. She recently went from weighing 115#’s, to 150 + #’s, thanks to her favorite gardener/boyfriend and his extraordinary culinary skills. I’d be jealous, but we really need the eggs!... Sign in to see full entry.

Is blogging going out of style? I have been writing and posting somewhat sporadically lately, but in the last six days, I wrote two postings, and got four reads and three comments. This would be sad enough, but my popularity rating is usually somewhere in the top ten of the writers in that category, ” Everything Else.” This writing category usually is in the top three of the most popular writer’s sites in blogit, and so I can’t help but wonder if blogging and reading each other’s work is, ( for...

Since according to medical studies, dancing is good for one’s heart, and I understand that swimming is an even better exercise for benefiting heart health, because swimming uses all of our muscles at once. Fish oil has been proven to be another useful tool in preventing heart trouble. Hmmmmm. The way my mind works, I postulate that most swimmers who dance, and take fish oil supplements, have strong, healthy hearts. Then I began wondering about the possibility of improving upon the current... Sign in to see full entry.

Does everybody ( anybody? ) remember Paraquat? It was a proven carcinogenic herbicide that was sprayed on growing marihuana plots, back in the bad old drug paranoia days of the 70’s, to kill the illicit plants and eventually kill any of those long-haired, slimy, unkempt, lowlife, junkie potheads that were stupid enough, or unlucky enough, to have foolishly harvested it, bought it, or smoked it, because they all deserved to get cancer and die, anyway. Paraquat was a primary ingredient in Agent... Sign in to see full entry.
